Wrong Heading sorry,

basically i am INSERTING data using Windows form to SQL Database

thanks

May be this will help you.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            SqlConnection cs = new SqlConnection("Data Source = raaj-pc; Initial Catalog = BookSellerNescom; Integrated Security = True");
          
            SqlCommand da;
            da = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO tblBooks VALUES(@Book_ID, @Title, @ISBN_No, @Author, @Publisher, @Date_Published, @Available, @Price)", cs);
            da.Parameters.Add("@Book_ID", SqlDbType.Int).Value = textBox1.Text;
            da.Parameters.Add("@Title", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = textBox2.Text;
            da.Parameters.Add("@ISBN_No", SqlDbType.NChar).Value = textBox3.Text;
            da.Parameters.Add("@Author", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = textBox4.Text;
            da.Parameters.Add("@Publisher", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = textBox5.Text;
            da.Parameters.Add("@Date_Published", SqlDbType.DateTime).Value = DateTime.Parse(textBox6.Text);
            da.Parameters.Add("@Available", SqlDbType.Bit).Value = textBox7.Text;
            da.Parameters.Add("@Price", SqlDbType.Money).Value = textBox8.Text;

            cs.Open();
            da.ExecuteNonQuery();
            cs.Close();
        }

Please point a line number where your got an exception (Error).

tried it but its giving same Error

its line 17

" da.ExecuteNonQuery();"

i checked the detail and it saying this,

"{"Failed to convert parameter value from a String to a Boolean."}"

the data type for field date_published in SQL database is just "Date" --> not DateTime...
i used

This is the parameter you have issues, right?:

da.Parameters.Add("@Available", SqlDbType.Bit).Value = textBox7.Text;

Bit can only have "true" or "false" values in th database.
What is your value in textBox7?

Its you have 1 or 0 do a conversation to true or false.

EDIT:
and instead of textBox6, in which you have date, you better use dateTimePicker ot monthCalendar. In this case there will never come to any inconveniances in capturing the right date value.

thanks for replies...

i made the changes and got another different error now on same Row,

"An explicit value for the identity column in table 'tblBooks' can only be specified when a column list is used and IDENTITY_INSERT is ON."

This error might occur becuase you attempted to insert a row containing a specific identity value into a table that contains an identity column.

Now, you must specify the column list of the Product column when u use the IDENTITY_INSERT ON.

Check for the colution here:http://www.sql-server-helper.com/error-messages/msg-8101.aspx

heres code again with updates
